Now, we all know console exclusives are starting to fall by the wayside this generation, but several remain. In fact, some of them are so important, they could be crucial system-sellers, and Sony recently defended their position in the face of a Reuters story outlining the growth of multi-platform titles and the decline of exclusives.
Sony's Peter Dille responded by saying the PS3 has "15 exclusives in a 7-month span," and they have "15 internal studios" working on PS3 titles, which is more than Microsoft and Nintendo combined. Of course, some of you are asking- what are they? Well, some have already arrived; here's the list (source- Gaming Target):
September through December
Heavenly Sword 9/12
Folklore 10/9
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 10/23
Eye of Judgment 10/24
NBA 08 11/2
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune 11/20
Time Crisis 4 11/20
Unreal Tournament III 12/10
Early 2008 Exclusives
Haze
LittleBigPlanet
Killzone 2
SOCOM: Confrontation
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots
SingStar
MLB 08
So there's your list, and it's pretty darn impressive. We're not really sure if they can count Unreal Tournament 3 as it's only a timed exclusive (it will arrive for the Xbox 360 in 2008), but whatever. You will also notice that a couple more giant PS3 exclusives - Gran Turismo 5 and Final Fantasy XIII - are missing, simply because they're not scheduled to release until later 2008. Really, the exclusive list for the PS3 is looking good...perhaps surprisingly to some.
